Maybe I'm a bit cynical,or as Frank Williams might say,realistic.Pat Symonds may well be stepping down from his position thats not quite the same as leaving the team and it may mean they will invent a job for him to keep him tied up until his knowledge of the new car is of no use to anybody else.His move will presumably leave a Paddy Lowe sized hole in the organisation and the cost of Mercedes engines may be substantially reduced if Mr Bottas is released to fill the Rosberg sized hole at Brackley.I can't imagine Williams will want two drivers who in F1 terms have L-plates and if Felipe Massa can overcome the embarrassment of aping Frank Sinatra,we know what comes next.
